Tweets,
I haven't mentioned my communications with Mike
because the P10 mirror was a field mark of previously
unknown importance to me. I only got a shot of it by
luck. I have since put away "The World Is Flat" and
have dug back into Howell and Dunn's, and Olsen and
Larsson's Gull books for bedtime stories. Also, I am
not trying to convince anyone of the birds specific
identity. I have stated I believe there is an adult
Slaty-backed Gull, a 3rd cycle bird that is probably a
Slaty-backed Gull, and another bird that is pretty
interesting. My photos are posted for everyone to make
up their own mind and/or go and see the birds for
themselves. Thanks to Bill for going and letting us
all know they are still there.
Also, as we continue to discuss my photos, and
Charlie's and Bill's comments I would like everyone to
remember that Tim and Lonnie found the 3rd year bird,
not me. I just accepted a little more risk in missing
dinner time and got lucky with the camera.

Good Birding to all,
Matt Pike
